     Coincidence? No, I’m watching you. I always  believed that everything happens  for a reason, you don’t have to  know it now but sooner or later  you’ll find out, hopefully it  will make you smile.

Late night in my fifteen year,  everything was going in the same  way. I still have that depression   which seems to be last forever,  still can hear those voices in my  head that won’t leave me alone  with myself. I got a call from   Andrea   saying  that  she  want  to introduce her boyfriend to me,  honestly I didn’t care at all  there’s a lot of things going on and I don’t have the time to  think about some stupid boyfriend.

Everyone can predict what  happened, I went to meet him, in a café they used to meet in. friends, lovers, families in everywhere. What a lovely evening? half an hour and he still didn’t show up, it got me bored I won’t wait for him too long!

I check my phone for the thousand time to find a text message from my ex-boyfriend, if he had sent a one weeks ago I’d be extremely happy and maybe flying, that what peter pan said. I read it and let out a laugh

-“Alana, how are you? And how’s everything? I have to confess that I missed you a lot and we need to talk about us. Just call me when you read the message.”

Now, he missed me.

-Andrea: “ Why are you laughing so hard?”

-Me: “Nothing, I got a text from Sean.”

-Andrea: “And what’s funny about it?”

-Me: “he’s saying that he missed me and want to talk about us!”

-Andrea: “here he is.”

Andrea stand up and go to greet a boy, he looks in seventeenth which is older than her by three years I guess.

He is tall about 181 cm , black hair, not too skinny or too curvy body, beauty mark on one of his cheeks that I became fond of and flawless smile, actually he’s hot….what am I thinking? He’s Andrea’s boyfriend !

Once I look at him again, it becomes confused. Why don’t I feel love or hate towards him? I know that gift I have since I was born that I can know what’s inside people and how really they are by just looking at them from the first sight but it’s not working with him all I can see that ,

We’ll talk again, soon.

“ Hi, I’m Oscar. You must be Alana, Andrea told me much about you.” He said with a deep voice.

“And you must be Oscar, Andrea didn’t tell me much about you.” I said calmly

“Oh.” Is all he say and I can see that look in Andrea’s eyes like she wants to stamp me with a knife or fork as long as it will kill me.

It has been another half an hour and they keep kissing each other and making out every 5-10 minutes at least. Disgusting.

“you know, I think you should get a room or something, everyone is looking at us beside there’s kids and that’s not healthy for them.”

“you’re right, stop flirting with me Ann.” Oscar says with playful voice.

I think it’s not healthy for me not kids.

“any ideas to have fun in that boring place?” I try to break the ice

“we were having fun before you forbid us from kissing.” Andrea says in an aggressive way.

“I’m sorry, okay? But we’re in a public place and I’m sorry for breaking the most romantic moment with your boyfriend who’s older than you. Three years, I guess !”

What had just happened? She can’t be jealous from me or thought I want her boyfriend.

“Andrea, calm down babe.” He tries to calm down her while I’m watching them. “ let’s order something to eat or I have a great idea let’s make a food contest who finish four dishes or five dishes win.”

“I’m in, what about you Ann?”

“no, I’ll just watch."

We start by ordering three plates of different deserts and two plates of burgers and pizza and one cup of milk, one cup of cola and one cup of beer for each one of us. It’s not gonna be good at all. A) because of how Andrea is protective. B) because of all the food and drinks we’ve ordered and will eat.

“Scared?” Oscar asks when the waiter arrives with our order.

“No” actually I am

“Are you sure that you want to eat all of these?” the waiter asks in a worried voice

We nod and start the contest

The food is delicious and in the same time painful but I have to win , Geez I think I may die poisoned by food! We finish the first two plates and I think he will finish the third within seconds ‘cause he’s a boy and boys loves to eat even if they’re full just like me now. I hear one of my favorite songs and it gives me power to not give up easily for some hot guy named Oscar.

HE IS NOT HOT !!

My brain says slapping me hard.

HE IS YOUR BEST FRIEND BOYFRIEND YOU CAN NOT SAY THAT.

He reminds me again that it’s all a dream.

“Won’t you give up?” He asks with a full mouth, Holly shit he can’t be any hotter than that.

“No, won’t you?”

“In your wildest dreams, girl”

By now there’s only one plate and drinks left for me but for him only the drinks. I’m in a big trouble. He’s gonna make fun of me if I didn’t win and honestly I’ll do the same thing if he lost.

My phone rings. In the perfect time!

“Can we pause it for a minute? I have to pick up.”

“No, if you answered you’re gonna lose”

“But…”

“There’s no but, Alana” Andrea says, I almost forgot her presence

“Fine” I finally give up not to the food or for him of-course but for picking up.

By now I can’t drink anything. Full? Yeah and I may puck in any second.

“I give up! You win. What should I do? Say I’m a loser loudly?”

“No, just pay for the food. Just for now”

                            . . .

Now I’m at home, finally.

I check my phone again nothing new but a message on my account on facebook.

“It was a nice day with you. Hope we will meet again soon” sent by Oscar.
